What do CCB Dancers do during the summer?

Our dancers work very hard during the school year, but they continue that hard work throughout the summer. Lebanon Ballet School continues to offer a wide variety of classes all summer (both to challenge CCB dancers and classes open to the community), but many students choose to enrich their dance education by traveling to dance programs over the summer. Our students spent the winter carefully selecting and preparing for auditions at a variety of summer programs and we'd like to congratulate them on their accomplishments!
